In no way do I see them drafting 3 WR's. I could see 2, but not 3. Of that first list, half of those guys won't end up on the roster. The only ones I see as locks are Crabtree, Boldin and Patton. Even Baldwin could get cut after restructuring. Of the ones that are left, Jacobs probably has the best shot to make the roster.

If both Moncrief & Janis were special team starters we could draft 3 WRs. Draft em and let em compete with Osgood, while they learn the craft from Crabs & Boldin. I'm all in for drafting 3 WRs, with one or two or all three seeing special team duty......

I don't think drafting 3 receivers is excessive IF one of them can replace Osgood on special teams and bring more as a receiver. If they cannot, then there is no reason, unless it's someone that is going to be redshirted, and no one fits that description (injured) to the best of my knowledge. The other reason would be if the team thinks they won't be able to retain Crabtree. It would be great if they at least began negotiating with him to at least gauge what his demands are.

I also am not big on trading LaMichael James, however, if we can net a 4th round pick for him, I think Dri Archer would be a great replacement and we can still realistically draft two others receivers.

We would have a replacement for Boldin in list A (I haven't ruled out Patton replacing Boldin either) and a true deep threat from list B. If we can hit on those two picks and still snag Archer, we will be set at that position.

I thought it might be interesting to look at the combine results and the college production of some of the more talked about wide receivers.

Here are production figures from the last two years for these same receivers.

Kelvin Benjamin played in 27 games, more than any other player on this list. Herron only played in 20 and Janis in 23.
The chart below projects the numbers that the others would have had playing in 27 games.

This chart multiplies yards per game, receptions per game, and touchdowns per game by 27.

Numbers for Benjamin do not change. I rounded the numbers up or down to the nearest 1. (10.3 would be 10 for example).

Do you that such a high projection is justified by his numbers at the combine?

Benjamin definitely had good enough workout numbers to eliminate any worries about him not being nimble enough to play WR in the NFL. Especially considering he's the size of a small tight end. So I'd say 20 or maybe a little before is reasonable.

He's going to be really tough to cover within the first 5 yards. He can get a lot of boxing-the-guy-out-like-a-power-forward catches. Especially with almost 35' arms.

All that said, I still like Donte Moncrief better for the Niners' offense. They need someone to keep the safety deeper.

I applaud this decision, if it is what the man wants then he is doing something very great. On a funny note, I really like the BC Interruption as a newspaper name, sounds like a good name for a band too
